IDEX Biometrics ASA - Update on Arbitration Award

Reference is made to the announcement by IDEX Biometrics ASA ("IDEX") on 28 January 2025 regarding the arbitration decision on 27 January 2025 on the dispute between IDEX and Zwipe AS (“Zwipe”), whereby the arbitrator held in favor of IDEX on all counts. The due date for payments by Zwipe was 14 days from the date of the arbitration decision.

Following such due date, because of Zwipe’s financial situation, as communicated by Zwipe on Euronext Oslo Børs, IDEX has engaged in discussions with Zwipe about a payment plan for the arbitration award. However, such discussions effectively ended when Zwipe on 17 February 2025 announced that it will file for bankruptcy with the Oslo District Court.

While Zwipe has paid the arbitration costs, Zwipe has made no payment to IDEX in compliance with the arbitration award.
